    So the summer Olympics are starting on July 27 in London. Over the years I've come too love watching em and find myself cheering for shit (water polo) I would normally never watch lol. They're alot of fun for my family as I've even got my wife hooked lol.

    Do you enjoy the Olympics and if so name a couple events you like. What countries do you cheer on?

    I'm going to include a poll to vote on who will win the most gold metals. I can't include everyone so I'll just stick with the obvious. I'll update as needed.

    The People's Republic of China (PRC) first competed at the Olympic Games in 1952, at the Summer Games in Helsinki, although they only arrived in time to participate in one event.

    The opening ceremony is today. Association football (soccer) already started. In America you can watch it live on nbcolympics.com. You have to have a tv provider that includes NBC, CNBC, and MSNBC.

    I'm a big gymnastics fan, and this year's events are so hype. Unfortunately numerous gymnasts have become injured in the past week.

    Yea I really enjoy the gymnastics also. It's amazing what they can do. I think they are the most physically fit athletes in the world. Track and field is awesome. Love hockey also.

    Olympic Facts!

    The Official Olympic Flag
    Created by Pierre de Coubertin in 1914, the Olympic flag contains five interconnected rings on a white background. The five rings symbolize the five significant continents and are interconnected to symbolize the friendship to be gained from these international competitions. The rings, from left to right, are blue, yellow, black, green, and red. The colors were chosen because at least one of them appeared on the flag of every country in the world. The Olympic flag was first flown during the 1920 Olympic Games.
